[chimerax-users] Morphing atomic models and volumes in a single movie

[Yazan Abbas]

Hi,

I am trying to create a movie that is morphing between 3 atomic models
while simultaneously morphing between the 3 corresponding volumes. The
following is my script for recording this movie:











*set max 25windowsize 1080 1080view frame1movie record supersample 3wait
1volume morph #12,13,14,15 frames 181 playStep 0.005524861878453038
constantVolume true modelId #16perframe "surface dust #16 size 40" frames
181coordset #10 1,181wait 181movie stopmovie encode test_full.mp4 quality
high*

There are 4 maps in my morph, but the fourth map is simply a copy of the
first in order to mimic the *wrap true* option of the atomic model morph. I
am encountering the following issue during the volume morph step: somewhere
in between the morph between volume #14 and #15, the map disappears for a
fraction of a second in the movie. I suspect its because of a
calculation/waiting issue, because if I record the movie using filtered
versions of the volumes (*volume guassian sDev 2*), I don't have the same
issue.

Am I correct in my interpretation of the issue? Is there a way to modify my
recording script to avoid this?

Thanks,

Yazan
